Sweet Pea – Petal-Perfect Piecing

The Sweet Pea block comes together with a thoughtful combination of flying geese and pieced units, resulting in a softly structured layout that mirrors the form and flow of the sweet pea flower. It’s elegant, subtle, and perfectly balanced—like a blossom just opening in the morning light.

There’s a lovely movement to this block that keeps it interesting without feeling overwhelming. I liked it so much I had to create a few options.

This is one of those designs that shines on its own but also plays well with others—quietly stunning and turn into an allover quilt design.
